about

Top dog at Exotic Robotics (alongside fellow sports-wear aficionado Sports Casual), Patrick Conway finally makes his debut on the label. Now gaining a fierce reputation in the studio, the international man of mystery delivers an absolute heater for his homegrown imprint - showcasing his gift for crafting crisp futurist techno, underpinned with heavy UK rave influences.

Opening the batting with Spring Sonnet, this is a naughty little off-spin googly ripping straight into mid-wicket. It's deep, intelligent, forward-thinking techno that feels familiar but futuristic at the same time. Think Shane Warne meets Aphex Twin. Brian Lara back-to-back with Jane Fitz all night long at the Oval. The batsman literally didn't stand a chance.

The second ball, coming in the form of Early Assembly, is met with an elegant stroking of the ball, effortlessly through the covers. Broken-beats and ethereal floating pads marry perfectly with Patrick's well-timed wristwork and unconventional movement off the front foot.

On the flip side is a pure hit of unapologetic rave-juice for the late-night disenfranchised. A corker of a yorker, pitched right inside the popping crease. 6 runs! Straight over the clubhouse. What a beauty. This is a raucous rave-stomper set to get all the silly mid's off their nuts. Heavy breaks, searing vocal cuts and rave stabs transporting us right back to the future.

Taking things down a notch to finish, DJ Python delivers a masterful slow ball. The batsman slices at the air as the stumps are knocked clean over the keeper's head. Howzat! What a ball. Spiraling synths circle over an infectious Python beat, channeling that signature reggaeton vibe and low tempo funk, this makes for the perfect end to an almost perfect innings.

What does any of this mean? Something to do with cricket. I genuinely have no idea. Great tunes though. Much love. Exotic Robotics.
